The damning report is in and the punishment has been doled out, but former Penn State President Graham Spanier is still trying to salvage a bit of his reputation by revealing himself as a victim of child abuse. In a letter sent yesterday to school trustees, Spanier writes that "it is unfathomable and illogical to think ... someone who experienced massive and persistent abuse as a child would have knowingly turned a blind eye to a report of child abuse."

His lawyer tells the AP that said abuse wasn't sexual in nature; rather, his father regularly beat him, to the point that he had to have his nose straightened several times. The Patriot-News notes that while Spanier hasn't been charged with a crime, emails sent in 2001 indicate that he helped make the decision to hold off on contacting police about Jerry Sandusky. The Patriot-Newshas the full letter.

seriously, his father was a plastic surgeon? omg! he should look BETTER! lol as for Paterno and the pedophile (J.Sandusky) they should both rot in hell, along with the rest of the members of the "do nothing, say nothing, help no one but yourself" club. I hope ALL your children and grandchildren now know the true cost of what you did to those boys....and since you all allowed this to go on, in the name of the almighty $....I hope and pray you and your gang of liars end up flat broke! All the cowards involved in this circle jerk should retire, move away, change your name, hide your face in public, willingly pay out the judgement that is sure to come against you, and PRAY that when you meet your maker he doesnt laugh in your face at your phony excuses and mea culpa's~
